BATTLE OF KINSHASA
The echoes of gunfire break the normal city noise on the calm April night. The “New-Asia” district is under attack. Dozens of UFA soldiers have been deployed to seize the city’s important regions like government buildings, economic hubs and Eurasian residences. The Eurasian soldiers hold valiantly as their families lie just around the corners. This is the fight that will determine the outcome of the war.
The Battle of Kinshasa took place on April 17th, 2036. It marked the start of Operation Cetshwayo; the UFA’s attempt to push Eurasian forces out of Africa. Ideally the city would be captured and the Eurasian forces westward could be cut off and squeezed, giving an early foothold to the UFA in the war.
Spearheaded by UFA pathfinders, the battle began with strategic drop points around the city. The pathfinders destroyed roads, police stations and targeted government buildings. Select teams were deployed to secure all airports in the region so the full-scale attack could begin. UFA standard infantry was flown in along with light armour and trucks to ship them directly downtown. A key strategic location was the canal. The canal split the city directly in two and controlling it meant having access to the easiest way to move supplies. The initial firefights broke out downtown between Eurasians and the arriving UFA resulting in casualties on both sides. The UFA had planned for a swift capture before Eurasian forces could respond, giving them time to fortify the city. Most of the strategic points were captured besides the New-Asian districts and the North East side of the city.
By nightfall the city had essentially been split in two, with both sides skirmishing back and forth. With the Eurasian’s fortified positions and the lack of supplies on the UFA’s end, the attack soon fell apart. A sly Eurasian counterattack saw the recapture of downtown forcing the UFA to lose hold on part of the canal, allowing the Eurasian’s to deploy their armoured HB-45 boats.
The city was eventually overrun by a huge swarm of Eurasian soldiers deployed from all over the Congo. The UFA suffered massive casualties, but the heavy equipment loss was minimal due to the planned late deployment that never occurred. Eurasian casualties were plentiful, and the military infrastructure in the city was ruined.
